WINTER SEA SERPENT.


Captain Brown, just Recovering From His
the Ice.
TIvOLI, n. Y, January 3,-The captain
of the schooner Mary Ann, from down
East, was the first person who saw the sea
serpent near Kingston Point last summer.
1t has remained, however, for man named
Brown, who lives out back OF Saugerties,
to see the serpent in the Hudson in winter.
Brown, like pretty much everybody else
who has seen the serpent, was perfectly
sober. He said that at the commencement
of the heavy snow storm Thursday morning
he walked considerable distance up the
Hudson for the purpose Of setting his nets
in the ice
Brown found a great crack in the ice.
He kept tramping on. Suddenly, accord
ing to Brown, he felt sensation as though
the ice was being lifted up beneath him.
He says he saw the ice roll. and then split
in twO making similar crack to the one
he had jumped over a short distance to the
southwark. Brown says that before the
waving Of the ice had ceased 4 strange
looking animal, with two eyes nearly rs
big as saucers and of the color of terra
Gotta, glared at him feTcely. The head OF
the beast remained above the ice for sew
eral seconds. Brown thinks it is the sea
serpent that was seen off Kingston Point
and elsewhere along shore last summer.
Brown is the first man on record in these
parts who has seen the serpent i'll Decem-

WEEKLY CROP STATEMENT.
Favorable Prospects for Winter Wheat In
the Western States.

CHICAGO, January 3.-Thc weekly crop
statement of the Farmers Reriac, of this
city, is as follows: The returns from the
correspondents very generally continue to
speak favorably of the prospects for winter
wheat In Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, the fields are generally well protect
ed with snow, though in Bond and some OF
the other southern Illinois counties the
fields are reported to be covered with ice,
and several Missouri counties report the
fall sown wheat suffering from dry cold.
The reports from Kansas rs to wheat are
not so uniformly favorable as formerly,
several counties reporting that the plant
looks feeble and poor The feature of the
reports from Indiana and Ohio is that all
the early sown grain is looking very well,
while the late sown wheat is looking poor
ly. The reports from all the corn growing
States speak of short supply, and a gen.
orally slow movement to market. Many
counties of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin
are importing corn,

setts. In Ohio the rate is about the same
on so miles as it is on 80, while the long
haul of 216 miles, instead OF being rela-
lively less, is relatively greater. In Mas
saehusetts in 1888 it cost forty-sx cents to
transport q bushel of wheat sixty-four
miles; the cost in Connecticut
for transporting the same quantity Of grain
62 miles was cents; in Pennsylvania, 60
miles. 4.2 cents; and in Ohio, 60 miles, D
cents. OF course the conditions may not
have been the same.
FARTHER WEST
We find Kansas paying AZ cents per bushel
for transporting a bushel of wheat 4O
miles, and Massachusetts for the same ser
vice, 36 miles, 22 cents; while California
pays So cents per bushel for 90 miles.
The Committee recognizes the meagreness
of these returns, which is very incomplete
and unsatisfactory. 4 glance at the above
summary also brings out the fact that the
same gratifying reduction has not taken
place in local rates during the years COW
cred by this inquiry as in through rates
In some cases there has been a reduction,
but in majority OF instances the rates
have remained substantially the same.
Turning frsm the United STAGES 10
FOREIGN COUNTRIES,
the committee shows the production and
consumption of cereals in Europe, and
brings out the fact that the increase in
population has been relatively much great
er in the great grain producing countries
than it has been in the grain buying coun-
tries. The United Kingdom appears to
have purchased about two-thirds of all the
wheat the United States exported during
this period, and therefore special attention
has been given to England's supply of
wheat. For this purpose table was pre-
pared, giving summary of the wheat i'm
ported into the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland from various countries
during the period (seven years. from 1886
to 1912, inclusive, showing the total i'm
portatiOns of wheat and the proportions
furnished by the United States, Russia,
GERMANY, British North America, Egypt,
Frdnce, Denmark and all other countries.

weeks ago his limb began to trouble him.
A second time he was sent home and q
physician was called, Officer O'Brien'
left thigh is swollen to double its normal
size, and his friends fear blood poisoning.

THE INDUSTRIAL STATE.
The Demand for Iron-Ore Lands Very
Much Increased.

The Demand tOr lrOn-Ore LanuS very
Much Increased.
PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-The man
ufacturers of pig iron are anxiously await
ing the announcement of prices for 1887
on raw materials They have been given
to understand that advances will be made
all around, including freight. They are
not hesitating, however, to make con-
tracts at prices varying from $50 to S21 per
ton.
The industrial operations of the past
week include the starting up OF two fur
naceS, and the formation Of large COM
pany to put in operation an extensive
rolling mill near Pottstown. Work isalso
progressing rapidly upon extensions to the
Bethlehem Iron Works for the manufacture
OF armOr plate.
The total amount Of Philadelphia capi-
tai which has been expended in South West
Virginia within the last year will reach
nearly $4,000 This expenditure is
upon mineral lands which have been de-
yelOped, and will result in the location of
one of the most extensive plants for the
manufacture ofiron and steel in the South.
The price of ore lands in this State has
increased nearly 80 per cent. within the
past three months, and most of those which
are of good quality have been bought up
by the large syndicates as Investments.
Among the probabilities in the retrcnch-
ment policy of the Reading is the closing
of its shops as place Of manufacture for
equipments, and it is claimed that with the
large amount OF competition in car and en-
gine building that equipment can be built
more cheaply on contract than by the rail
road companies.
The demand for those sizes of anthracite
coal which are used by furnaces and roll
ing mills has been so great within the past
two weeks, that the companies have been
unable to meet it, and in a number of in
stances the furnaces have been compelled
to use broken coal, which is rated among
the domestic Goals.
1t is stated in railroad circles that when
the South Pennsylvania railroad has been
completed that large number of iron and
steel producing establishments will be
built along its line by capitalists who are
now interested in the road. 1t is stated
that its completion will make many COM
pctitive points where the Pennsylvania
road now has 4 monopoly, and that such
points will make iavorite places for estab-
liShinU new industries
